There are other various activities to engage in when you’re bored. In your case, your boredom untimely lead to a life changing decision. I’m not judging you for engaging in a sexual activity, however I do believe you should have had had more precaution. I don’t know if your pregnancy occurred due to lack of sex education or if the condom tore or you missed a couple pills. I don’t know. The point is you’re pregnant and have a decision to make, that I believe a sixteen year old should never have to make.
From looking at the multiple options, keeping the infant would be very demanding. You’re not even legal and you would be raising a child in your parent’s household. By keeping the child there would be many restrictions financially and socially. You wouldn’t have a social life, since your time would be dedicated to the baby. Instead of buying albums you would be purchasing formula, diapers, baby clothes, ect. This situation would force you to have to interact with Bleecker as long as that child is in both your lives. Would the both of you have the time to finish your education? Would the child live two different households? This choice is a lifelong commitment that I don’t believe you or Bleecker are ready to make.
Option two is to abort. As a women you have the right to abort because of the court decision Roe V wade, however this decision isn’t something that should be taken lightly. In your case, you’re a sixteen year old with a long life ahead of you. Though you don’t seem to have many goals in life or a plan you’re still young, young enough to figure out what you want. I doubt any sixteen year old is eager and ecstatic to be a teen mom. On the other hand this procedure has the risks of leaving emotional scars.
Option three is adoption. By giving the baby up for adoption and helping a family wanting to conceive but not being able too, this not only benefits them but also you. Though this family did not remain intact, you can live on knowing that this baby will be provided with all the love and attention it deserves. While living in a household that can financially provide for its care.
Overall I believe there various pro and con’s to the different routes that could have been taken. But in this scenario, the decision you made was a tough one but it untimely seemed like the best decision out of all three. By the way, next time you’re bored try picking up a hobby.
